Does the saucer have a 'rolled' edge? In other words, can spiders find a nice area to hide under the edge, or is it solid?

Yes, the edge is rolled. There would be room for bugs to hide, but so far I haven't found that to be a problem, and I've been using my saucers for over a year. One of them is on the ground, filled with water for the rabbits, squirrels, and coyotes, but it hasn't collected any hiding spiders.

I've never had to suck up a spider with it yet, but I can't imagine they would be able to withstand it. It's pretty powerful. I usually use my Dyson vacuum when I have to get spiders though. That way I can still stay a comfortable distance away from them :)

I am using it in my garage, about 30 by 40. I have been using it for about 2 months and it seems to be working .I have no seen spiders or bugs with it in use.

I've had mine for 3 months now & it lays perfectly flat. Its somewhat heavy so I don't see the edges curling up anytime!

not sure. We purchased It for spiders, and my daughter has seen few if none since.

The base strip of the spikes is somewhat flexible, so it kinda depends on the sharpness of the curve. If I were putting them on a Dish or Direct sat dish, I would cut them into 3-4 inch lengths accommodate the curve like that. I have them on the edges of a solar panel that they are really working well. I though that the spiders would love them for web construction, but for some reason, the spiders have stayed away. No bird poop either on the panel or on the dock beneath. If you are in a snowy area, they will indeed tend to prevent snow from sliding off the dish. We have also had some leaves collect on the panel in those seemingly brief intervals when it is not windy. Overall, a very good product. Mounted them with silicone sealer as the adhesive.

The metal sides hook around the wooden slats that are through the fabric sleeves, mine has a little notch in the wood to keep the metal loops from slipping off. If yours doesn't have them, maybe make some? but once I frame it up, the tension alone makes it stay quite nicely. I have 3 other pastry mats of all kinds of material (plastic, silicone and a thin wood...bamboo maybe?) and this is by far my favorite. I do both pies and pasta on it constantly and just love it.

Yes, the bottom of the niche has a very slight slope. It's hard to see with the naked eye, but it is there

It curves up a bit, so you can put small things on it and they won't roll off. I have eyebrow pencils and small things like that on it. But as far as a pattern around the border--if that's the question, the answer is no. It is a very nice piece, heavy and substantial and worth the price.

I've honestly never had problems with ants getting into my salt shakers. They usually head straight for the cat's dish. But to answer your question, this box closes pretty tightly. The top "swings" around on a pivot, and there appears to be either a magnet or something that sort of "catches" when you swing it back. It's not airtight, I don't think, but it keeps the salt in good shape.

It is standard saucer deep. Maybe an inch. Works fine under a large heavy cactus.

I got the 21 inch saucer, not the 24 inch saucer. It's 21 inches at the top outside but has a rolled edge so is ~19.5 inches inside top. It tapers and the inside bottom is ~18 inches. I'd guess the 24 inch saucer will likely have the same rolled edge and taper so will probably be ~22.5 inches inside top and ~21 inches inside bottom. Hope this helps.

I bought a 12 inch plastic planter saucer and put it under the dish. The dish was often ending up on the ground and did not sit level. The planter saucer was an easy and acceptable 99 cent fix. Other than that I've been very happy with the Yard Butler.

There are edges to prevent this, it's a ledge type thing. However it does snap off for cleaning and one of mine figured out they could pry it off. I just put it back on and never leave it off. It should definitely slow down her digging though. It did mine.

I use it to scoop up spiders & cobwebs.........When I turn the vac on all the spiders in my home start hiding....This is a real bonus not found in the instruction book !!

If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side. The spikes are barely needed IMO. We have 2" wrestling mats placed at the bottom of the slide and around the perimeter to the side entrance to add extra cushion for falls and to help keep their socks from getting filthy. I have a very large foyer with 20" ceilings and have allowed the kids to set it up inside with the mats a few times on very cold or rainy days when they needed to get rid of their wiggles thru physical play. I place a few mats underneath and surround the perimeter and it barely moves on slippery hardwood floors. If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, but it may be tight. The saucer is 22 x 22 at the top edge with a slight slant going into the bottom. We apologize, but we don't keep the bottom measurement on file. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.
